Dear Tom,

I have followed your posts since I have joined this forum and find your comments generally worthwhile and helpful.So I will assume your comments about Angus Jackson are sincere and constructive.

First, I am not a client.I believe the point of the post is to help people evaluate whether certain systems are suitable for them.

Two of the systems-Global and Spectrum are proprietary to Angus.The rest are systems purchased by their clients.As a result of seeing the real time data for these systems I was able to make a decision not to purchase a couple I was interested in.

The unique thing about Angus Jackson is that they are one of the few firms who make such data available.Is it an advertisement?Indirectly maybe.On the other hand they have faxed data to me for over 6 months and I am not a client.

Yes I am sure you can always find someone to trade a system cheaper.But their forte is not to encourage the type of tweaking that can ruin even a good system.

I mean my comments in the spirit of cameraderie and hope you do not take offense.

Regards,
John

P.S.Track records are available.

Ok, so what? What is the point of this post? Is there something those of us
who trade for real, or wish to trade for real can learn? Is this an
advertisement? What is unique about Angus Jackson and/or the systems it
trades for its clients? Could other brokers trade those same systems? What
does Angus Jackson charge to trade those systems? Are those systems
proprietary systems of Angus Jackson? If they are proprietary systems can
you present a long term track record? If they are not proprietary systems I
bet I can find anyone interested a cheaper way to execute the trades!!! 

Regards,

Tom Alexander
